高一英语Book3 Uuit1-Unit6课文+翻译B3U1 P1Dear Agony Aunt,尊敬的知心阿姨,I’m in a total mess here—hope you can help me out!我这儿一团糟——希望您能帮帮我!I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said.我今年17岁,是学校篮球队的一员。
我酷爱打篮球,而且打得也挺好的,也许正因如此,在我们队输掉了最近的比赛时我相当恼怒。
我们打得不错,但我感觉整个团队都被一个队友拖累了,那就是我们的控球后卫。
控球后卫是队里的关键球员,但他就像根本不在场上一样!我对他的行为感到失望,我把这些全部告诉了我最好的朋友。
我其实只是发泄一下怒气,因为我很生气,可我的朋友随后却把我的话告诉了所有人。

必修一Unit1 Anne’s Best FriendDo you want a friend whom you could tell everything to,like your deepest feelings and thoughts?Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you,or would not understand what you are going through?Anne Frank wanted the first kind,so she made her diary her best friend.Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World WarⅡ.Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered.During that time the only true friend was her diary.She said,”I don’t wa nt to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do,but I want this diary itself to be my friend,and I shall call my friend Kitty.”Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.Thursday 15th June,1944Dear Kitty,I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky,the song of the birds,moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.That’s changed since I was here.…For example,one evening when it was so warm,I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by my self.But as the moon gave far too much light,I didn’t dare open a windo w.Another time five months ago,I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open.I didn’t go downstairs until the window bad to be shut.The dark,rainy evening,the wind,the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power;it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face……Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows.It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

ANCIENT CHINESE ART ON SHOWThe Richfield Museum of Fine Art is proud to present our new exhibition, "from Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages." Join us as we explore more than 3,000 years of wonderful art from the Middle Kingdom. From bronze bowls to ceramic vases, and jade sculptures to ink wash paintings, our goal is to display the Chinese artistic genius from ancient times.中国古代艺术展览里奇菲尔德美术博物馆很荣幸为您介绍我们的新展览——“从商朝到清朝:历代中国艺术”。
加入我们一起来探索来自中央王国(即中国,译者注)具有3,000 多年历史的美妙艺术。
从青铜碗到陶瓷花瓶,从玉雕到水墨画,我们的目标是展示中国古代的艺术天分。
The highlight of this exhibition is the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass, one of the great works of Tang Yin (1470-1524). Born during the Ming Dynasty, Tang sought and failed to gain entry into the civil service, so he turned to painting instead. In time, he gained recognition as one of the greatest artists China has ever known. This painting, showing high mountains, trees, and houses covered in snow, was made with extraordinary skill. Though it is over 500 years old, it looks as fresh and full of life as the day it was created.本次展览的亮点是唐寅(1470—1524) 的杰作之一—《函关雪霁图》。
Nature in the balanceLet us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature takes its revenge on us.—Friedrich Engels Welcome to the unitThe human race has done much harm.We have polluted our soils and seas,And cut down too many trees.Now is the time to sound the alarm.We want to live in a world that’s clean;We want to live in a world of green.The human race has done much harm;Now is the time to sound the alarm.Let’s be thankful for the skies above;Let’s plant new trees and stop pollution;Let’s work together to find the solution;The Earth’s our home to protect and love.We want to live in a world that’s clean;We want to live in a world of green.Let’s be thankful for the skies above;The Earth’s our home to protect and love.ReadingThe Amazon rainforest:a natural treasureWelcome to the jungle, a huge sea of green alive with the sounds of animals. This is the Amazon rainforest. As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays a significant role in maintaining the fine balance of the Earth’s ecosystem.The Amazon rainforest crosses into eight countries, including Brazil and Peru, and one overseas region of France, all on the South American continent. With an area of around 6 million square kilometres, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. The Amazon River, from which the rainforest gets its name, is close to 6,400 kilometres inlength—roughly 100 kilometres longer than the Yangtze River. On its journey from the mountains to the ocean, the river supports many different ecosystems. They give this area the richest biodiversity on the Earth: one in ten known species in the world can be found here.Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. This tall and ancient brazil nut tree produces nuts that we can eat; these water lilies are big enough to lie down on. The forest’s different levels support an unbelievable variety of wildlife. At the bottom, there is a system of roots beneath the ground. Above that is the mass of leaf litter on the dark forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves. Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of the tallest trees many metres above the ground. Each level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things.More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals hide among the jungle’s plant life. This jaguar is one example. It has a yellowish-brown coat with black spots. While a significant number of jaguars survive here, they are only one element of this forest’s food chain. They feed on at least 87 species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit. When a jaguar dies, a tiny army of microorganisms helps break down its body and return the nutrients to the earth.The Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by fixing carbon and producing over 20 per cent of all the Earth’s oxygen. Thus, it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”. Moreover, the Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine. Yet there is one major danger to these irreplaceable plants and animals: us. Over the past 50 years, about 17 per cent of the rainforest has disappeared due to human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming. As the impact of human activities continues to grow and the list of species in danger of extinction becomes longer, we are left with a question: can we afford to damage the “lungs of the planet”?Extended readingHOST: Good evening and welcome to News that Matters. Our topic today is pollution in Norgate. Joining us in the studio tonight are James Smith, a local resident; Vincent Brown, senior manager of a local factory; and Julie Archer, chief of the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee. Welcome.Norgate’s rapid development has had significant environmental costs. Mr Smith, you’ve lived in this city for over 20 years. How would you describe the effects of pollution over that time?SMITH: It’s been awful, really. When I first moved here, the air was fresh, the grass green and the water clear. Then heavy industry factories moved in, and things became entirely different. I d on’t enjoy outdoor activities any more. The river is dirty and smelly. The smog in the air has coloured the sky a smoky grey; it’s also given me a cough that I can’t get rid of. For health and safety reasons alone, heavy industry has to go.HOST: Mr Smith protested against heavy industry. Mr Brown, would you liketorespond?BROWN: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, Mr Smith. People tend to connect factories with pictures of clouds of dirty smoke and irresponsible businessmen eager to make huge profits. In defence of the factories, however, I’d like to point out that we also try to control the amount of pollution we produce. I think I speak for all factory managers when I say we’re deeply concerned about the environment. We’ve been taking various measures, including the use of new technologies, to reduce pollution in the production process, even though these measures raise our production costs. I’d also like to draw your attention to the economic benefits factories have brought to Norgate. We’ve created many jobs for local residents and helped the city’s economy grow.HOST: Thank you, Mr Brown. With pollution levels on the rise, theNorgate Environmental Protection Committee is searching for waysto fight the problem. Mrs Archer, what are your thoughts on how todeal with pollution?ARCHER: Well, our committee has a major role to play in maintaining air and water quality. We have to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic development. We’ve made environmental policies for businesses to observe, like strict clean-up requirements.We also work hand in hand with other branches of government to ensure that development strategies are followed in an environmentally friendly way. However, fighting pollution isn’t just a task for factories and the government. It has to be a community-wide effort, and everyone can help by following the golden rule: reduce, reuse and recycle. For example, you can save energy by taking the bus or the subway, or using the bike-sharing system.HOST: Thank you, Mrs Archer, and thanks again to all of our guests. A former UN official once said, “Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth ... these are one and the same fight.” The fortunes of our environment and our economy are inseparable. It’s our duty to protect the environment while we aim for economic development. It’s our duty to leave a better, cleaner and healthier planet to our children. It’s our duty to build a human community with a shared future.。

But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her frie nds right now laughing at said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he th ought she would keep her word. He had looked forward to meeting her all day, an d now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown his sadness in c offee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave-he wiped the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV-just what Li F ang needed! A sad Chinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visted the earth. Her name was Z hinü,the weaving girl. W hile she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love.(“Just like me and Hu Jin,”thought Li Fang.)They got marrie d secretly, and they were very happy.(“We could be like that,”thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to tried to follow her, but the river of stars,the Milly Way, stopped that Zhinü was heart-broken, he r grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet onc e a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross the rive r to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. People in China hope t hat the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means th at Z hinü is weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet.The announcer said,”This is the story of Qiqiao foreigners hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine’s ’s a fine day today, so I hope you can all meet the one you love.”As Li Fang set off for home, he thought,”I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me . I’ll just throw these flowers and chocolates away. I don’t want them to remin d me of her.” So he did.As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home, he heard a v oice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling , “why are you so late?I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!And I have a gift for you!”What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts!She would never fo rgive him. This would not be a happy Valent ine’s Day!。
